I'm aiming for next winter / fall. It's all plotted, and I have 20k or so words down, but I do work full-time and I do want the book to be as good as I can make it, so I don't want to rush.

I will be releasing a few other works in the interim; I have several short stories set in the world of Queen that I'll put out in a collection this summer, and also a fun sword and sorcery adventure that's all finished and just waiting on a cover. I'll announce releases on my mailing list, which can be signed up for at authoralechutson.com.

Anyway, thank for the interest, and take care. (less)

“People don’t change, they only get better at hiding themselves.”
Alec Hutson, The Shadows of Dust

“A book is the pinnacle of arrogance for it demands to be heard, but it cannot listen. It desires to communicate, yet it refuses conversation.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“We make our own destiny. Believing otherwise abdicates responsibility for what happens, and I refuse to do that.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“A book is the pinnacle of arrogance for it demands to be heard, but it cannot listen. It desires to communicate, yet it refuses conversation.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“There are no gods, paladin. There is no afterlife, no eternal reward. You, in fact, are a slave to a creature you cannot even comprehend.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“The arrogance of writing comes not from the finished creation, but from the very act itself. What hubris is required for a single mind to believe that its thoughts should populate the world? What unbridled arrogance is it to disperse ideas like the petals of a dandelion in the wind, allowing them to float free, to germinate in the minds of others like an invasive weed?”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“That is the danger, he mused, of living in such an immutable place. Change, when it did come, seemed too hurried, too discourteous.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen

“We make our own destiny. Believing otherwise abdicates responsibility for what happens, and I refuse to do that.”
Alec Hutson, The Crimson Queen
